I also took advantage of the recent discount offer to upgrade from Life to Endowment.

Upgraded to a Life Membership yesterday.

I put a big drop of Brownells Xtreme on it and the rattle went away.

I feel better after reading this too. But Walton, you must post some pics of this new 686 for us to get us drooling.

OK, I hear ya. Just for the money I paid for it, I would not expect to have loose pieces rattling around. I read in another thread to put a dab of grease on it, which keps it from rattling, though I wonder if that would get dirty.

I hear it also if I hold the gun and rotate my wrist. This is really bothering me now.

So why is it rattling around? I just noticed it while cleaning my new 638-3 airweight. I popped off the side cover to peek and the only think that can rattle inside is the "Hammer Block" (part #78 on the schematic in this post). I dont recall it rattling when I bought it. Is there any way to...

Thanks, I feel much better. I was afraid it was too hot. Is this Ultramax a good brand?

Actually, I began by using 130gre FMJ from common makers. Last week I bought a box of Ultramax bulk re-loaded 158gr ast lead semi wadcutters. They scared the hell out of me the first time I pulled the trigger. A lot more noise but just a little more kick. They make great holes in the target...

I've taken it to the range a few times now and really enjoy shooting it. Recoil is very manageable. I just cant get the hang of the sights. The rear is a trough that runs the length of the cylinder. I am used to that from my H&R. But the front is like a half a penny welded to the barrel...

I knew very little about my revolver until I came here and started this thread. Now I know a lot more. The people here are great.

It has spent the last 40 years "retired" at the bottom of my Mom's hope chest. I think it wants to more than just hold its own. My brothers and Dad are going to have to decide if we want to get this refinished by the factory. I am torn. Although it would look great with the surface rust...

My brothers and I took it to my club after a quick cleaning and shot between 90 and 100 rounds. It shot like a dream. If you hold it tight, your groups are tight. Seems to shoot a bit to the left but I am not used to the sights yet. The recoil is less than my Ruger 9mm. I got some video...

Since you guys seem to like pictures, here are a few more. In and out of the holster. The holster, btw, was made by Bradley E Grimes Co., model 3005-1/2.

Grandpa walked a Philadelphia beat from 1932 till he died in 1967. The woodgrips are worn half through on the right. I figure it is from his arm swinging against it with every step he took. The holster is pretty rough too.

Incredible, are you sitting next to me holding it? Yes, the barrel is 5" and the matching serial number is written faintly in pencil on the inside of the grip. Thank you for the info.

It is a family heirloom. We think it dates to the late 20s or early 30s. There is no model number. The serial number is 577xxx. Any help would be appreciated.

I just recently came into possession of an old revolver and I am hoping to learn some more about it here.
